I remember when I was talking to my friend about PC parts because I was explaining to him how my PC would be better than other pre-built PCs at the price point because I built mine myself. Right when I was talking about my first part (GPU), he replied, "I don't know what you're talking about.". I feel so lonely. I wonder if my $500 PC can outperform his $1000 iMac!

I would have done it a bit differently but I believe you explained the reasons for why a few pages back.

I would have done dual channel RAM but I believe you said something about upgrading soon later. And I would have done an 120GB SSD instead, but I also believe you said something about needing the space and buying an SSD soon. Anyway, good build.

May I ask how your custom Cooler that I showed you the deal for is $0 and how Windows is also $0?

The cooler was free from my dad's work. He had this old cooler still in its box. Windows I borrowed from one of my dad's colleagues. (Or actually HE did that.)

Yep. It's like the people with 780s who run everything at low because they'd rather have a constant 900 + fps.

There are those people?

I would figure that if you had the brains or money to buy a 780 that you would run it as high as you can.

Or if you were stupid and rich enough to buy a prebuilt machine with a 780 that you would also be stupid enough to just use the (ok) pre-detected graphical settings games give you without modifying it?

There is a medium? Who is this super man you are telling me about? Is there such a person?

You guys are funny

My office needs workstations. When I looked at the initial specifications I noticed that they included AMD 290x's

Keep in mind that the most these cards would do is run flash video, or possibly some minesweeper idk.

So now I will have a ~$3000-$5000 budget per desktop to work with, still a whole lot cheaper than Dell lol.
